Last December, Facebook announced that it planned to include auto-play video ads in News Feed in the future. Mashable'sSeth Fiegerman asked if this move towards video ads could drive users away from the social networking site for good.

Julie Groves Glasser reacted negatively to the idea of video ads, as did many of our other readers.

A dedicated Netflix fan made a life-long commitment to the brand when he branded himself with the company's name. Netflix responded by giving him a free year-long subscription.

But May Rashid isn't impressed with the offer. If the tattoo is for life, shouldn't the subscription be, too?

When Google announced it would discontinue its Google Reader at the beginning of July, the web feed's loyal fan base was stunned. Reactions to the announcement were heartfelt; Mashable'sChris Taylor wrote an article called "Hey Google, We Still Love Reader" that was part op-ed, part love-letter; Todd Wasserman suggested Yahoo jump on the opportunity to create its own RSS news reader; someone even went so far as to submit a petition to President Obama asking him to save Reader. While none of these attempts have yielded results thus far, our readers found solace together as they commiserated in our comments section.

In December, Facebook announced that automatically-enabled video ads would be introduced to the News Feed by April at the latest. It appears the company is staying true to its promise — some Mashable readers have already experienced the auto-play function. Mashable'sSeth Fiegerman asked if this new feature would deter its current users. While the overwhelming majority of commenters expressed annoyance at the function and (as always) threatened to leave the social networking site, a few commenters who work in marketing reacted positively to the news.

Are you a lifelong fan of any brands? Chances are you aren't as die-hard as this guy: A man received a free year-long subscription to Netflix after tweeting a picture of his Netflix Tattoo. Many of our commenters agreed that a life-long tattoo should warrant a life-long subscription.
